‘Surfer Girl’ - The Beach Boys
In going all the way with its title, there are only three songs on the Beach Boys’ third album, ‘Surfer Girl’ (or four, if you don’t count the instrumental closer, “Boogie Woodie”), that are not about surfing, or that don’t mention surfing or the surfing waves in some capacity. …
